The UIF program was created in 2012 as part of an Epicenter (the National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation) grant, founded as a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded STEM center and directed by Stanford University, Stanford Technology Ventures Program (Stanford University School of Engineering's entrepreneurship center), VentureWell, and the National Collegiate Inventors and ...
At the time the humidex was originally developed in 1965, Canada was still on the Fahrenheit scale, and thus the humidex was originally based on that. The 1979 reformulation, which added the 0.5555 factor (from the relation 1 °F = 5 / 9 °C), was largely to address metrication in Canada as the country switched to the Celsius scale.
This is a collection of temperature conversion formulas and comparisons among eight different temperature scales, several of which have long been obsolete.. Temperatures on scales that either do not share a numeric zero or are nonlinearly related cannot correctly be mathematically equated (related using the symbol =), and thus temperatures on different scales are more correctly described as ...
For example, both the old Celsius scale and Fahrenheit scale were originally based on the linear expansion of a narrow mercury column within a limited range of temperature, [4] each using different reference points and scale increments. Different empirical scales may not be compatible with each other, except for small regions of temperature ...
Unidad de Inteligencia Financiera (Financial Intelligence Unit) or UIF is an administrative unit of Mexico's Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit responsible for receiving, analyzing and disseminating information related to the prevention, detection and combat to the violations of operations with illegal resources such as money laundering and terrorist-financing activities.
Canada uses the inch-based paper standard e.g. the US Letter (8.5 inches × 11 inches), rather than the metric-based A4 paper size (210 mm × 297 mm) used throughout most of the world. The government, however, uses a combination of ISO paper sizes, and CAN 2-9.60M "Paper Sizes for Correspondence" specifies P1 through P6 paper sizes, which are ...
Two major basic income experiments have been conducted in Canada. Firstly the Mincome experiment in Manitoba 1974–1979, and secondly the Ontario Basic Income Pilot Project in 2017. The latter was intended to last for three years but only lasted a few months due to its subsequent cancellation by the then newly-elected Conservative government.
Canada's annual average temperature over land has warmed by 1.7 °C (3.1 °F), with changes ranging from 1.1 to 2.3 °C (2.0 to 4.1 °F) in various regions, since 1948. [4] The rate of warming has been higher across the North and in the Prairies. [ 4 ]
